Answer:


x>4 or
x \leq -3

Explanation:

Given :
-6x -1 < -25 or
3x + 4 \leq -5

Solving first inequality :


-6x-1<-25

Add 1 to both sides


\Rightarrow -6x-1+1<-25+1\\\Rightarrow -6x<-24\\\Rightarrow 6x>24

Divide both sides by 6


\Rightarrow (6)/(6)x>(24)/(6)\\\Rightarrow x>4

Solving second inequality:


3x + 4 \leq -5

Subtract 4 from both sides


\Rightarrow 3x+4-4 \leq -5-4\\\Rightarrow 3x \leq -9

Divide both sides by 3


\Rightarrow (3)/(3)x \leq (-9)/(3)


\Rightarrow x \leq -3

So,
x>4 or
x \leq -3
